Yeah, but cucumbers scare the crap out of them.
Umbrellas too... point one in their direction and open it, then see how high they can jump :D
True, but cats still rule!!
No, they don’t.
All of those videos were of people sneaking up behind the cats and planting a cucumber (it could have been any object) that the cat *knew* was not there before (cats are very observant of their surroundings).
I tried showing my cats cucumbers. The cats sniffed it, batted it, and walked away.
On another topic: one of my cats has become obsessed with the laser-pointer. I wish we’d never brought that thing into the house, because now he is climbing on every piece of furniture, trying to find it in drawers and on shelves - I’m convinced he has seen or heard every possible place we hide it, and keeps looking for it. He is driving us crazy!
We’ve ordered one of those track systems with balls that roll around, and hope that it will distract; but does anyone know of any other good cat toy that might make this crazy kitty forget about the laser-thingie?
With our previous cats, we had a little stuffed thing that made noise whenever it was even slightly touched, and that kept the cats very occupied; but I can’t find anything like that now.
